  With a few days left in 2019, I wanted to countdown some of my top travel memories this past year + how I got there. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Faroe Islands ???????? Fun facts: Sheep outnumber humans. The flag airline of the Faroes (@atlanticairways) has three planes, total. And there are three traffic lights in the ENTIRE country. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The Faroe Islands were breathtakingly gorgeous, and still relatively remote. We were often the only ones on our hikes. And it seemed like everywhere we looked, every corner we rounded, or mountain we climbed, there was a rainbow — just for us. ???? Besides epic views, hikes, and runs, it was also epically cold especially when we jumped into the North Atlantic with one of our Airbnb hosts. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Getting There I got to continental Europe by flying @lufthansa first class (using 87,000 @avianca LifeMiles) and bought a separate connecting flight on Faroese airline Atlantic Airways from Copenhagen. Best of all, I got to check TWO airlines off, along with a bucket list item — Lufthansa first class onboard the Queen, Boeing 747. Oh and checking out the Lufthansa First Class Terminal. Rubber duck and Porsche transfer acquired ????????⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ A post shared by Chris Dong (@thechrisflyer) on Dec 29, 2019 at 6:46pm PST
